Danny Dyer - what a nob.

Couldn't agree more...This has to be one of the best/worst things i've ever seen.... staggeringly cr*p/brilliant.

Just thinking, if last night's show was on the BBC you could have reported them to Ofcom for an 'abuse of trust'. I'm not convinced that the 'dangerous man' he met last night, David, was any of the things he claimed other than that he might have been called David. He looked like  one of those old lying drunks you get hanging around pubs on their own. It was laughable.

Full of humour and a great watch though.  And Mr Lee the prog addressed your comments - Danny PTC on boat (roughly) '' I could have this guy in a fight (hope he can't hear me)...stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean with a cameraman and a smuggler''  Voiceover line ''looks like this guy could blow over in a strong breeze''

The guy may be old, but don't be ageist, he had some incredible stories. Amongst the crap he churned out. There are many levels of danger; it's not all about east end gangsters and gang members. It's not all about beatings and shootings, that can get dull.  Drug smugglers are evil and charming at the same time. Interesting stuff. Which sadly has to fit into a very silly (but entertaining) format - not trying/never could compete with Ross Kemp. It's Bravo/Dyer for goddess sake.

Here's another person who hasn't quite grasped the beauty of multi-channel programming just yet...

While Dyer's weak PTC's, cheeky cockney winks to the camera and 'facking' throwaway comments certainly have no place on 'terrestrial' channels (a soon to be defunct concept), you can't shoot down a format purely because of what it is.

The fact is, this series more than succeeds in what its setting out to do; bringing a presenter-led factual series to Bravo viewers - what else did you think you were going to get on Bravo? I saw the gypsy episode too, which I agree was better - but in a day and age where we demand transparency from our TV makers, what are you suggesting they did with the drug smuggler episode - inject a bit of fake jeopardy? Construct a knife fight on the deck? Come on. We can't have it both ways.

Danny Dyer is Danny Dyer - you KNOW what you're going to get with him, surely. If you wouldn't pay to see one of his films, then chances are you wouldn't tune in to see of his 'lame pastiche' TV Programmes.

If I really wanted to waste hours of my life, here's what I'd do. Trawl through hours of narrowly-targetted multi-channel formats, find the ones that I completely hated and then come online to tell everyone what programmes they're not quite as good as and why I thought the characters weren't really up to much. I'd probably start with Bravo too, as it's easy pickings.

I think it's fantastic that we've now got the infrastructure to be able to put out programmes like Danny Dyer's Dangerous Men that probably rate very highly with their target audiences. I'd expect a similarly scathing (although admitedly less articulate) review from a Bravo viewer made to sit through Newsnight or Panorama.

Is it watered-down Ross Kemp? Maybe.. but IT KNOWS IT IS!!

It is entertaining, I grant you that. That's why I think more people should watch it.

I don't think more people should watch it. I think the people who should be watching it will catch the trailers in-between Dog the Bounty Hunter and America's Most Shocking Police Chase Videos From Hell and decide to tune in as targetted viewers.

Why don't we all tune in to Countryfile and laugh at the twee, insignificant and meaningless features bound together by cheesy, dated presenting?

Don't start me on Countryfile - that really is shite now it's gone populist

George Lamb is panning Dyer on his radio 6 show all week this week, so funny. He is just palying sound bites from his TV show "when a man goes, he goes and he goes in hard"

Brill!
